haha "I think most people are" I am convinced that M-1 doesn't tell Fedor anything but what he wants to hear and also I'm convinced Fedor doesn't own or know how to use a computer, or is interested in surfing the internet. I think Fedor is all about combat sports and is really oblivious to what people think and say. Almost to the point that its not good, he shouldn't be all worried about what people say but he should have at least an idea.
Overeem himself wanted to fight Werdum instead of Fedor. The translation is bad but what Fedor said was basically the truth and spot on.
Well, Overeem is concentrating on K-1 the moment, so I doubt he wants to fight Fedor right now. Hopefully we will see him fight Fedor and Werdum next year, but Strikeforce isn't running their heavyweight division well at the moment.
Out of all the many people Fedor knows at least one of them will be aware of the shite M-1 spouts and would tell Fedor. Fedor's legacy is already set in stone, but the past few years M-1 have been ****ing disasterous for the guy
More accurate translation of what Fedor said would be "As far as I know, as of right now, Overeem declines a fight with me." "Against" indicates that Fedor thinks Overeem has lack of will or down right fear of fighting Fedor. While "declines" just means declining an offer to fight without any emphasis on the reason for the decline. Just clearing that up a bit.
